Introduction

An Interactive Whiteboard is a system that consists of the following components: dot screen, documents that include special dot patterns*1, digital pen, a computer with special software (Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO, DSPD, Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO*2) installed, and a projector. Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO, which runs on a computer, acts as the front end of the Interactive Whiteboard system.

Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO is an education support tool that displays in real time*3 figures and text written on the dot screen with the digital pen. Since figures and text can be written with the digital pen directly onto the computer screen (Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO screen) image being projected onto the dot screen, students and presentation attendees are provided with easier to understand information that has greater visual impact. A digital pen can even be used to write on documents printed on paper prepared with special dot patterns, with the handwritten text and figures immediately being shown on the dot screen. This makes handwritten information immediately available to your audience on the screen, as soon as you write it.

What is an Interactive Whiteboard?

Write directly onto the dot screen.

Writing on a document is also reflected on the screen.

*1 Documents printed using Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO. If you use Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO to print paper versions of the same contents (such as PowerPoint files) as the slides to be projected on the dot screen during a presentation, you can control the presentation (page changes, writing on pages, etc.) using digital pen operations on the printed pages. A separate Anoto Qualified Printer or an Anoto Tested Printer is required to print documents with special dot patterns. Using another type of printer to print documents with special dot patterns can result in incorrect printing of dot patterns and abnormal colors. Visit the website below for the latest information about Anoto Qualified Printers and Anoto Tested Printers (as of February 2013). http://www.anoto.com/lng/en/pageTag/page:products/mode/sublist/documentId/1001/#Print

*2 Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO, DSPD, and Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO are based on Anoto digital pen and paper technology. Anoto digital pen and paper technology are protected by over 200 global patents, including those shown below, which are the property of Anoto AB.

Do not attempt to attach it to a surface that is soiled with dust or other matter, or a surface that does not allow magnetic adhesion. To keep the dot screen from falling if it detaches from the mounting surface due to impact, be sure to use the provided safety hook to secure the dot screen to the surface. For details, see steps 4 and 5 of the procedure under To set up the dot screen for projection below.

To set up the dot screen for projection

1. Remove the dot screen from the screen case and then unhook the anti-slack wires on either end from the end bar.

2. Affix the magnetic end bar of the dot screen to a vertical surface (metal wall, blackboard, etc.) and gradually unroll the screen.

While pressing the roll against the surface, slowly rotate it to unroll the screen. Note that you will not be able to adjust the position of the screen while it is unrolled. To reposition the screen, first roll it back up onto the roll. Pulling the dot screen from a surface without rolling it up or allowing it to fall from a surface can result in irreparable creases in the dot screen.

3. Completely unroll the screen and affix the magnetic roll to the metal surface.

Check to make sure that the dot screen will not separate from the surface to which it is affixed when you release the roll. Note that when the screen is cold it may not flatten out completely, which makes it very possible that it will become detached and fall from the surface you attaching it to.

4. Pull out the anti-slack wire of the top end cap and pass the safety hook wire through the loop.

5. Secure the safety hook to the surface. If you are affixing the dot screen to a blackboard that is mounted on a wall, insert the safety hook into the space between the blackboard and the wall as shown in the illustration below. If you are affixing the dot screen to a surface where there is no space that you can use for the safety hook, secure the safety hook to the wall using the screw that comes with the screen.

Pull on the safety wire to confirm that the hook is secure.

Chapter 2: Using Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO This chapter provides detailed explanations about how to use the features and functions of the Interactive Whiteboard when conducting presentations. Operations are mainly performed using Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO software running on a computer.

This section provides an overview of what Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO (IWB for CASIO) allows you to do, along with initial settings (product registration and calibration) you need to configure and basic operational procedures.

Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO Modes IWB for CASIO has four modes, each of which is described below.

Mouse Control Mode This mode lets you use the digital pen in place of a mouse to perform operations directly on the image being projected onto the dot screen.

PowerPoint Control Mode (Supports use of one digital pen.) This mode is for conducting slideshow presentations of PowerPoint files using PowerPoint. IWB for CASIO can be used to perform slideshow operations (page changes, writing on pages, etc.) with the digital pen on the dot screen or on printed documents with special dot patterns.

Presentation Mode (Supports simultaneous use of up to four digital pens.) This mode is for conducting presentations using special format (PPG) files generated from PowerPoint, Word, PDF, and other types of files. This mode supports the operations described below.

Slideshow operations (page changes, writing on pages, etc.) with the digital pen on the dot screen or on printed documents with special dot patterns. As with PowerPoint file slideshow presentations, the Pen tool or Marker Pen tool can be used for writing into the image. The following operations are also supported: shape, line, and arrow drawing; image file pasting; relocation, zoom, and delete of objects inserted into a page; appending of a blank page at the end of the slideshow, etc. Saving of content inserted during a slideshow to a PPG file. After re-opening a PPG file, inserted content can be edited (relocated, zoomed, deleted) as desired. A choice of slideshow views: Full-screen view or window view.

Capture & Draw Mode (Supports simultaneous use of up to four digital pens.) The Capture & Draw Mode lets you capture the computer screen image (being projected onto the dot screen), and then write or draw figures into the captured image using the digital pen. Note that IWB for CASIO toolboxes and windows are not included in the captured image. Captured images containing inserted data can be stored as editable format (DST) files, or as non-editable image (png, jpg, or bmp) files.

Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO Overview

27

Registering Your Product (Serial Key Input) The first time you start up IWB for CASIO, a serial key confirmation dialog box will appear. This dialog box will keep on appearing with each startup until you input the serial key. The serial key is located in the Software License Certificate that comes with this system. The serial key confirmation dialog box will stop appearing once you input the serial key.

To input the serial key

To perform calibration

1. If IWB for CASIO is not running, double-click the Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO icon on your computer desktop to start it up.

2. Remove the cap from the digital pen.

3. Project the screen image from the computer onto the dot screen. If there are multiple display devices (including projectors) connected to the computer, check if the projector is the computers primary display device or secondary (or other) display device. If the projector is the computers primary display device, you can start calibration simply by tapping the dot screen with the digital pen only. In this case, tap the dot screen with the digital pen and then jump to step 7 of this procedure. Otherwise, proceed with step 4, below.

4. In the computers task tray, click the Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO icon ( ).

5. On the menu that appears, select Calibration.

6. On the sub-menu that appears, select the display device (projector) that you want to calibrate.

If the projector is the only display device connected to the computer or if the projector is connected to a laptop computer and an image of the laptop computers screen is being projected, A will be the only option displayed on the sub-menu. In this case, select A. The sub-menu will appear when there are two display devices (for example, laptop computer and projector, etc.) connected to the computer and the display device screen is expanded. Select A if the projector is the primary display device, or B if it is the secondary display device.

Selecting the correct letter on the sub-menu will cause the letter to appear in the center of the dot screen, along with a calibration mark in the upper left corner.

7. Tap the center of the calibration mark once with the digital pen. The position (coordinates) of the location where you tapped will be recorded when you remove the digital pen from the dot screen.

Note If the letter in the center of the dot screen is different from the one you selected on the Calibration sub-menu and no calibration mark is displayed, it means that you selected the wrong display device. If this happens, click the close ( ) button in the lower right corner of the main toolbox and perform this procedure again starting from step 1.

29

8. With each tap, a calibration mark will appear in the lower left, upper right, and then lower right corners of the dot screen. Tap the center of each mark once with the digital pen.

Calibration is complete when you tap the fourth calibration mark.

To re-perform calibration Perform the procedure under To perform calibration, starting from step 4. Even while calibration marks are displayed, you can restart calibration by going back to step 4 under To perform calibration.

Performing Calibration after Each Startup You can configure IWB for CASIO to execute the calibration process whenever the dot screen is tapped after startup. To do this, perform the steps below.

When this option is selected, the currently configured calibration information is discarded when you exit IWB for CASIO. You should select this option if you frequently need to move the dot screen and/or projector between presentations.

If there is no check mark next to Perform calibration with each startup (indicating that the option is disabled, which is the initial default setting), calibration information produced by the last calibration process is retained in memory. This means that tapping the dot screen will not start the calibration process after you start up Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO.

Important! If the projector is not the computers primary display device, you will need to perform the procedure under To perform calibration (page 28) as required, even if there is not check mark next to the Perform calibration with each startup option.

1 Click the Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO icon ( ) in the computers task tray. 2 On the menu that appears, select Perform calibration with each startup so a check mark appears

Printed Document with Special Dot Pattern Operations You can use the digital pen to perform mouse click and drag operations on a printed document with special dot patterns.

When there is a Presentation Mode operation palette on a printed document with special dot patterns, you can use the operation palette to change the slideshow page, to select certain tools, etc.

When the operation palette on the printed document with special dot pattern is a Presentation Mode for Student operation palette, it can be used to change the line type and color settings of the currently selected write/draw tool.

To perform this mouse operation:

Do this with the digital pen:

Click Tap the document once with the digital pen.

Drag Hold the nib of the digital pen against the document as you drag it from one location to another.

To do this: Tap this icon:

Page Auto Change Feature of Printed Documents with Special Dot Patterns An operation performed with the digital pen on any page of a printed document with special dot patterns is interpreted as an operation on the corresponding PPG file page. A page auto change feature causes the slideshow to jump automatically to the PPG file page that corresponds to any printed document page that is tapped with the digital pen. You can disable page auto change, if you want. Simply tap the icon on the Presentation Mode toolbox or on a printed document with special dot pattern operation palette. This will toggle page auto change between enabled ( displayed as the Presentation Mode toolbox icon) and disabled ( displayed as the icon).

While page auto change is enabled ( ), tapping a page of a printed document with special dot patterns that is different from the currently selected page will cause the current slideshow to jump automatically to that page, regardless of which tool is currently selected. Regardless of whether page auto change is enabled or disabled, performing a tap or drag operation on a page of a printed document with special dot patterns with the digital pen will cause the same operation to be performed with the currently selected tool on the corresponding page of the slideshow that is currently in progress. If the Pen tool is currently selected, for example, performing a drag operation on a page of a printed document with special dot patterns that is different from the page currently displayed by the slideshow will perform a draw operation on the corresponding page of the slideshow. Note that while page auto change is disabled ( ), you may end up performing unintended operations (deletion of page objects with the Eraser tool, etc.) on a page that is currently not displayed.

The Capture & Draw Mode lets you capture the computer screen image (being projected onto the dot screen), and then write or draw on the captured image using the digital pen. Note that IWB for CASIO toolboxes and windows are not included in the captured image. Captured images containing drawn or written data can be stored as editable format (DST) files, or as non-editable image (png, jpg, or bmp) files.

Capture & Draw Mode Operational Flow This following is the operational flow for capturing a computer screen image and drawing on it in the Capture & Draw Mode.

Important! If the computer has multiple display devices connected (such as when a laptop computer is connected to the projector), make sure that the primary display device of the computer is being projected onto the dot screen. Computer screen capture in the Capture & Draw Mode can only capture the computers primary display device. If the computers primary display device is not the one being projected onto the dot screen, perform the required operation on the computer to change its display settings so that the primary display device is being projected. After changing the computers display settings, be sure to perform the operation under To perform calibration (page 28) again to re-calibrate.

Using the Capture & Draw Mode

(1) Project the computer screen image you want to capture and draw on. The primary computer display device must be the one being projected onto the dot screen. See the Important! notes below.

(2) Start up IWB for CASIO, enter the Capture & Draw Mode, and perform the screen capture operation.

(3) Draw on the captured image as desired. As soon as you capture a screen image in the Capture & Draw Mode, the digital pen automatically switches to a mode for drawing on the image. For details, see Capturing and Drawing on the Currently Displayed Computer Screen Image (page 52).

Nine-digit numbers that indicate the time of the file saves and three-digit page numbers will be appended automatically to the file names. The three-digit serial number will start from 001 for the first file, and be incremented for each additional file. For more information, see Saved File Naming Rules (page 69).

Saved File Naming Rules Files you save in the Presentation Mode and Capture & Draw Mode are named using the formats shown in the table below.

You can convert a DST file that was saved in the Capture & Draw Mode to a PPG file (which can be opened in the Presentation Mode) by changing is filename extension from .dst to .ppg. This makes it easy to incorporate images of a computer screen captured using the Capture & Draw Mode directly into a presentation. After you open a converted file in the Presentation Mode, you will be able to edit objects that were written or drawn on the image with the Pen or Marker Pen tool in the Capture & Draw Mode.

Important! Note that while reverse conversion of a PPG file created in the Presentation Mode to a DST file is theoretically possible by changing the filename extension from .ppg to .dst, the converted file may not open or display correctly in the Capture & Draw Mode.

When you perform this type of save operation: The file is named using this format:

Save as a PPG file or DST file {name you input}_{save time}

Save of the currently displayed page as an image file {name you input}_{save time}_{page number}

Batch save of all pages as individual image files {name you input}_{save time}_{page number}

{name you input} ..........This is the name you enter in the File Name box on the Save As dialog box. If you do not enter anything, the name of the currently open file is used as the default.

{save time} ....................Automatically specified time in the format: hhmmssfff hh: Save time hour (24-hour format) mm: Save time minute ss: Save time second fff: Save time millisecond (three digits)

{page number} ..............Three digit number indicating the page of the output source file. Image files are numbered sequentially starting from 001 and continuing up to 200 (the maximum number of allowable pages).

Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO Operating Precautions Note the following precautions whenever printing a document with special dot patterns or creating a PPG file. In the precautions below, the term source file means the PowerPoint, Word, or other application document used as the source for printing of the document with special dot patterns or PPG file creation. The term Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO output refers to both printed documents with special dot patterns and PPG files.

A single Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO output job can contain up to 200 pages. Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO output adjusts colors to facilitate reading of dot patterns by the digital pen. Because of this, the color hues of Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO output may differ from those in the source file. The difference in color hues can be particularly noticeable when printing documents with special dot patterns on a non-Postscript printer. Generation of Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO output may take more time when the source file includes shading or gradations (such as PowerPoint fill effects). Changing to another user after logging into Windows with a user name that includes double-byte characters can result in not being able to print with Dot Pattern Printing for CASIO. If this happens, log off of Windows and then log back in again.

11. Configure the settings below on the dialog box.

Use the Resolution setting to specify the resolution to be used when converting graphic images of the file you opened in step 2 of this procedure to a PPG file. The initial default setting is 200 dpi. A smaller value produces a coarser image and a smaller file. A larger value results in a finer image and a larger file. Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO will not be able to open a page that is 10,000 or more pixels in width or height. Be sure to set a resolution in accordance with the paper size so the resulting page is less than 10,000 pixels in width and/or height. For example, when using landscape orientation A2-size paper, a setting of 300 dpi results in a page size of 7,016 4,961, while 600 dpi produces a page size of 14,031 9,921. This means you should use a resolution setting of 300 dpi or lower. For information about settings that can be configured after you click [Advanced Settings], see Configuring Advanced Settings on the Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO Dialog Box (page 76).

12. After configuring all the settings you want, click [OK]. This will print the document with special dot patterns from the specified printer. Next, a dialog box for saving the PPG file will appear.

Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Check the information in this section whenever you experience any problems while using your Interactive Whiteboard.

There is no response to digital pen operations on the dot screen or printed documents with special dot patterns with the digital pen.

Digital Pen and Dot Screen Troubleshooting

Probable Cause Required Action

The digital pen battery is dead. Replace the battery.

The digital pen is turned off. Inadvertently depressing the switch on the pen that detects whether the cap is in place (and turns it off when it is) with your finger will cause the digital pen to turn off. Release the switch (so it is not depressed), which will turn on the digital pen and restore normal operation. Digital pen power will turn off automatically if it is left with its cap removed for about seven and a half minutes without performing any pen operation. If this is the cause, replace the cap and then remove it again.

You are blocking the camera lens in the nib of the digital pen with your finger, etc.

The digital pen has a built-in camera that reads what is under the pen. Proper pen operation will not be possible if the camera lens becomes blocked by your finger or something else. Check to make sure that the camera lens is not being blocked by something.

DSPD is not running or it was installed incorrectly.

Digital pen operation requires the DSPD digital pen driver (page 17). Check the points below.

Is the DSPD icon ( ) displayed in your computers task tray? If it isnt, restart your computer. If the icon does not appear after your computer restarts, reinstall DSPD. Is the DSPD icon ( ) in your computers task tray red? This means that your DSPD has generated an error. Re-install DSPD.

For information about how to re-install, see Re-installing the Software (page 87).

The digital pen is not paired with your computer.

Digital pens need to be paired individually, one by one. Refer to Establishing a Connection between the Digital Pen and Computer (Pairing) (page 12) and pair the digital pen with your computer.

The Bluetooth adapter was moved to a different USB port.

As a general rule, the Bluetooth adapter must stay connected to the USB port where it was originally connected on a computer. Moving the Bluetooth adapter to a different USB port will cause it to be recognized by the computer as a new USB device, and you will have to re-install the driver and reconfigure all of the required settings. If you do move the Bluetooth adapter to another USB port, you will need to pair all of your digital pens with the computer.

79

The connection between the digital pen and computer has been broken.

Check the points below. Is the Bluetooth icon ( ) displayed in your computers task tray? If not, click the arrow button on the left side of the task tray to display hidden icons. It the icon still does not appear, it probably means there is no Bluetooth adapter connected to the computer. Connect a Bluetooth adapter to your computer (when reconnecting a Bluetooth adapter, always connect to the same USB port where you originally connected and configured it). If your computer has a built-in Bluetooth adapter, perform the required operation on your computer to enable the Bluetooth adapter. Note that your Bluetooth adapter must be Microsoft stack or TOSHIBA stack. For details, see Important! on page 12. In the task tray, click the Bluetooth icon ( ). On the menu that appears, select Open Bluetooth Settings (Windows XP) or Open Settings (Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8). On the dialog box that appears, see if the Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer. check box selected. If the check box is cleared, select it. In the computers task tray, click the Bluetooth icon ( ). On the menu that appears, select Show Bluetooth Devices. On the dialog box that appears, check the number of ADP-301B icons is the same as the number of digital pens you are using. If there are no ADP-301B icons or if the number of icons is less than the number of digital pens you are using, it probably means that digital pens were not paired with the computer or that pairing information was removed using the computers device removal operation. Refer to Establishing a Connection between the Digital Pen and Computer (Pairing) (page 12) and pair the digital pen with your computer. Are you using a Bluetooth stack recommended under Minimum Computer System Requirements (page 17) as the Bluetooth adapter driver? The digital pen will operate only with the recommended Bluetooth stacks, not with a driver that came with a commercially available Bluetooth adapter, not with the driver pre-installed with a computers built-in Bluetooth adapter, etc. For details, see To connect a Bluetooth adapter to your computer (page 13). Are you using an incompatible Bluetooth adapter? Connect a commercially available Bluetooth adapter that supports the Bluetooth version 2.0 HID (Human Interface Device) to your computer.

The version of the PowerPoint application you are using to conduct the slideshow is different from the version used to print the document.

If the version of PowerPoint you use to print a document with special dot patterns is different from the version used to conduct the slideshow can cause text sizes and positions to change so the printed document and projected document are different. Make sure that the PowerPoint version being used to conduct the slideshow is the same as the version used to print the document.

82

When I tap a page in a printed document with special dot patterns with the digital pen, a different page is displayed.

I cant open a PPG file.

The currently displayed page has a large X across it.

Known Issues As of February 28, 2013, the issues described below have been confirmed for Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO (Version 1.0.0).

When using multiple digital pens for writing and drawing, changing the line type for one digital pen may cause the line type of a different digital pen to change. During PowerPoint 2010 slideshows, changing to another page after making a pen or highlighter pen selection with the operation palette will not retain the pen selection. This problem can be resolved by updating Office 2010 to Service Pack 1. Update your Office 2010 install to Service Pack 1 or higher.

Probable Cause Required Action

Settings were wrong when printing the document with special dot patterns.

Selecting a range of pages for printing (instead of all pages) on the print dialog box of the application you are using for printing will result the pages of the printed document with special dot patterns not corresponding with the source file pages. Always be sure to specify all pages as the print range on the print dialog box of the application you are using for printing. You can specify a range of pages on the separate Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO dialog box. For details, see Printing Documents with Special Dot Patterns and Creating PPG Files (for the Presentation Mode) (page 74).

Probable Cause Required Action

The resolution setting used when outputting the PPG file was too high.

Use the source file to re-create the PPG file. When you do, use a smaller value for the Resolution setting on the Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO dialog box.

Probable Cause Required Action

You are attempting to run multiple instances of Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO. Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO has been running nonstop for a long time.

The system will display a large X mark across the currently displayed page whenever memory is low or when there is some other computer system problem. If this happens, perform the steps below. 1 Exit all currently running applications except for Interactive Whiteboard for

CASIO. 2 Save all currently open Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO files and exit

Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO. 3 Restart your computer.

Probable Causes and Required Actions A landscape orientation source file is being output in portrait orientation, causing parts of the image to be cut off.

The orientation setting is correct, but the image is still cut off.

Some of the pages in the source file are not printed. (Printing stops part way through.)

I cant open a PPG file with Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO.

Known Issues As of February 28, 2013, the issues described below have been confirmed for Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO (Version 1.0.0.0).

Printing may not be possible or may not be performed correctly when printing a document that contains pages of different orientations or different sizes. Non-Postscript (GDI) printers support output of A-sizes only. If you want to output a B-size, use a Postscript printer. Printing is not supported with a printer that manages output by users. The form of fonts in a printed document with special dot patterns and output PPG file may differ from the form of the fonts in the source file.

Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO Troubleshooting

Probable Cause Required Action

The Page size information check box is not selected.

On the Dot Pattern Printer for CASIO dialog box, click [Advanced Settings]. Next, under Page size information, select the Use check box.

The orientation setting on the properties screen is not correct.

Chapter 5: Appendix

DSPD includes functions that send data received from the digital pen to the applicable digital pen application (Interactive Whiteboard for CASIO). Though you normally never need to do anything concerning DSPD, you can use the menu that appears when you right-click the DSPD icon ( ) on your computers task tray to perform the operations described below.

Note Selecting Exit on the above menu exits DSPD and causes the DSPD icon ( ) to disappear from the task tray. To restart DSPD, either restart the computer or perform the operation below. Windows XP, Vista, or 7: Click [Start] 3 [All Programs] 3 [dnp] 3 [dspd] 3 [dspd]. Windows 8: On the Start screen, click the [dspd] tile.

A dirty dot screen can interfere with detection of the location where you write or draw with the digital pen, and can make data reading impossible. A dirty dot screen back can cause poor magnetic adhesion, and creates the risk of the dot screen falling from the surface to which it is attached. Carefully read the information in this section and periodically perform the procedures shown here to care for and maintain your dot screen.

To clean the front of the dot screen

1. After making sure that the target surface is clean, affix the dot screen to it. To avoid getting dust or other foreign matter on the surface of the dot screen, never allow it so come into direct contact with the floor.

2. If the front of the dot screen is dirty, use a damp cloth that has been thoroughly wrung of all excess water to wipe it clean.

Wiping the dot screen with a wet cloth is recommended at least once a week.

3. Use a clean cloth to dry the front of the dot screen.

2. Pressing the roll against the surface where the dot screen is attached, roll up the screen.

Take care when rolling up the screen to ensure that it is straight and that there is no slack. To remove crookedness and slack, unroll the screen onto a surface and then roll it back up again. Trying to force the dot screen into position while it is rolled up can damage the screen.

3. Carefully remove the rolled up screen from the surface. Maintain approximately the same amount of pressure on the roller against the surface until the dot screen is completely rolled up. Failure to do so can cause the dot screen to fall from the surface.

4. Fold down the anti-slack wires on either end of the roll and hook them on to the end bar hooks.

5. Insert the rolled up screen in the screen case.
